# Instructions | ||
|
||
Given a word, compute the Scrabble score for that word. | ||
Your task is to compute a word's Scrabble score by summing the values of its letters. | ||
|
||
## Letter Values | ||
The letters are valued as follows: | ||
|
||
You'll need these: | ||
| Letter | Value | | ||
| ---------------------------- | ----- | | ||
| A, E, I, O, U, L, N, R, S, T | 1 | | ||
| D, G | 2 | | ||
| B, C, M, P | 3 | | ||
| F, H, V, W, Y | 4 | | ||
| K | 5 | | ||
| J, X | 8 | | ||
| Q, Z | 10 | | ||
|
||
```text | ||
Letter Value | ||
A, E, I, O, U, L, N, R, S, T 1 | ||
D, G 2 | ||
B, C, M, P 3 | ||
F, H, V, W, Y 4 | ||
K 5 | ||
J, X 8 | ||
Q, Z 10 | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Examples | ||
|
||
"cabbage" should be scored as worth 14 points: | ||
For example, the word "cabbage" is worth 14 points: | ||
|
||
- 3 points for C | ||
- 1 point for A, twice | ||
- 3 points for B, twice | ||
- 1 point for A | ||
- 3 points for B | ||
- 3 points for B | ||
- 1 point for A | ||
- 2 points for G | ||
- 1 point for E | ||
|
||
And to total: | ||
|
||
- `3 + 2*1 + 2*3 + 2 + 1` | ||
- = `3 + 2 + 6 + 3` | ||
- = `5 + 9` | ||
- = 14 | ||
|
